Might need to be a wired mouse, though, since the Bluetooth ones probably don't connect until later in the startup process. Also, make sure the disk slot is not closed up. I have gotten disks to eject on more than one computer merely by forcing the sides of the slot apart. I have seen this on laptops and iMacs. Your symptom here is that the drive SOUNDS like it is trying to eject the disc, but it doesn't come out. j. -- Jonathan Fletcher FileMaker 9 & 10 Certified Developer Fletcher Data Consulting [email protected] http://www.fletcherdata.com 502-509-7137 Kentuckiana's FileMaker Users Group Next meeting: June 28, 12:00 pm to 3:00-ish Listserv signup: http://fmpug.com/mailman/listinfo/louisville_fmpug.com Blog: http://www.kyfmp.com _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected] http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup
